An elderly woman whose body was discovered by her husband in their North Side home Monday committed suicide, officials with the medical examiner's office said.

Sandra Johnson, 71, was found dead at the couple's home in the 4300 block of Hollow Hill about 5 p.m., according to an incident report. Her husband called police, frantically telling them that someone had come inside and killed his wife.

A revolver was found next to Johnson's body, which lay on the floor in the home's master bedroom. Police saw a single bullet hole to the left side of her chest through her black tracksuit.
